What Goes In Affects What Comes Out

American film maker Robert Kenner's "Food, Inc." is a hard-hitting expose of the agribusiness.

The United Nations says food production is the main cause of pollution and the destruction of ecosystems because of the massive use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

Food, Inc. is expected to be released June, 2009 in the United States by Magnolia Pictures. Kenner said the international rights were being sold in Berlin's European Film Market.

"The film is ostensibly about food but it's also about the concentrated power in the United States and the corrupting effects of that power," said Eric Schlosser, author of "Fast Food Nation". He is in the film and also spoke as a panelist.

"But it's not only the United States, you also see the same tendencies in the European Union. It's a real threat to ordinary people when one company has so much control."
